Stand-off | a stand-alone
A stand-off, with regards warfare and weaponry, is the distance that one can safely attack an enemy while still being beyond the effective-range of their opponent.
For example: if a soldier has a rifle with an effective-range of 500 meters, and his enemy has a rifle with a range of only 300 meters, then that soldier has a “stand-off” range of 200 meters.
A similar term is found in the sport of boxing. This term is “reach”. The distance that a boxer may hit his opponent with out moving forward, is his “reach”. It is desirable for a boxer to have a greater “reach” than his opponent. The difference in “reach” from one boxer to another is the “stand-off”.
